Paal Payasam (Indian Rice Pudding)

This recipe has been in my family for years, and is a favourite with all of us. 'Paal' means 'milk' in Tamil (a South Indian language) and 'Payasam' refers to 'pudding'. My mom makes this without the raisins and pistachios, but they add to the payasam's richness. Hope you enjoy this South Indian delicacy :)
